The exhibition featured the work of many Pingry studio art teachers, including Ms. Xiomara Babilonia, Ms. Melody Boone, Mr. Miles Boyd, Mr. Russell Christian, Ms. Rebecca Sullivan, Mr. Rich Freiwald, Ms. Patti Jordan, and Ms. Nan Ring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Last year, the faculty exhibit, entitled \u201cNow and Then,\u201d explored the teacher\u2019s artistic evolutions. By comparing their older pieces to new creations, viewers were able to see the growth and development of the teachers\u2019 styles. Once again, this year\u2019s exhibit displayed the faculty\u2019s creativity and talent. On Wednesday, January 29, Pingry students and faculty were invited to a reception that celebrated the exhibit. While enjoying snacks, visitors explored the various pieces and appreciated the beautiful artwork.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the pieces on display was Ms. Nan Ring\u2019s \u201cVeiled Figures\u201d series. Throughout the series, she explores \u201cthe way we fit in\u2014or not\u2014to our bodies, our clothes, our culture, and the planet.\u201d&nbsp; When searching for inspiration, Ms. Ring was drawn to a veil&#8217;s \u201cmyriad folds and geometric patterns formed by the way the gauzy material overlaps itself as it is draped on the wearer.\u201d&nbsp; She\u2019s hopes that her \u201cpaintings evolve for viewers as the viewer evolves\u201d and that they \u201cmean different things to the viewer at different times of their life, just like a poem does for a reader.\u201d In her paintings, Ms. Ring showcased the beauty and complexity of veils, as she explored the versatility of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up in the gallery is the 24th annual Student Photography Show, which will be showing in the gallery until March 3. The show features the works of students from eleven different private and public schools across the region. Both exhibits, back-to-back, put the talent and creativity of the faculty, and the students they help mentor, on display for the whole community.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Martine Bigos (IV) The annual Art Faculty Exhibition was on display in the Hostetter Gallery through January 31.
